which is before, which is after?
Most people go from worse to better. I think I got confused!

Aurora 289 Slabside
This was a sweet machine! Next to my 427 "street" version Era #561 - I liked this Cobra better than all the other ones I've owned. More people thought it was "real" beacuse of its relative rarity compared to all the multitude of sidepipe equipped "replicas".

Naked 533 cid EFI
A look at Naja's powerplant with most of the 'accessories' off of it. Atop is a 1200 cfm Accel throttle body, then a Torker II manifold (a significant restriction for this engine), to the new Edelbrock 6066 aluminum heads, 65 lb. Siemens injectors (supplied by an Aeroequip pump). Custom grind roller CompCam with .662 i/e lift, solid lifters, roller rockers under the custom valve cover by Innovation West (only ones like them in the world). A medium stoker with .080 overbore gives 533 cid. Wiseco pistons have 18cc dish to give 9.8:1 compression ratio. I was surprised when the redline was set at 7k, but the 2 people doing the engine work said it would have no trouble handling it.
It dyno'd at 491 hp (5200 rpm) and 548 ft-lbs (4700 rpm) - remember the Torker II being a huge restriction. It was built with reliability (first) in mind, then for torque. The lowest rpm that they data logged during the dyno was 2600, and it was already doing 525 ft-lbs.
This powers a C6 tranny leading to a 9 inch, live rear end with a 2.73 running gear. Haven't run it on the road much, but have gotten over 15 mpg on two, short trips. Spark control completely MSD including 7AL-2, Pro Power HVC coil, billet distributor with Pro cap. All of this is managed by a SpeedPro ECU. It idles at about 950 rpm.

Unique Graphics
Among the many unique features of 'Naja evolvere' is the ghosted graphics on the exterior. Ghosting is somewhat common on darker colored, custom cars, but it is almost unheard of on a white base. This is because it is EXTREMELY difficult. The graphics artist and I were ecstatic over the results. Like this picture, most photos do not do the large snake on the hood justice. It was meant to be subtle - most people don't even see it unless they look at it for more than a glance. In bright sunlight, it changes shades from a dull, light grey to a bright, irridescent blue. I also have subtle, 'snakeskin' stripes (the customary dimensions) on the rear. You must observe it in person to gain an appreciation for it! The base is a pearl white.

1st day with the body on frame
And people say that you need a two car garage to put a Cobra together, I beg to differ.
